Michael,

It's apparently not designed to do that.  Does "portmaster
--check-depends" complain?  It's a shell script from
ports-mgmt/portmaster, just install and run it, it's lightweight (as
opposed to portupgrade).

Was your library path in csh created or suggested by pth-related ports?

(Perhaps there could be something in the ports framework that warns if
port duplicates base system functionality and suggests to deinstall a
port that is no longer needed -- however, that would have to work also
in cases where a newer ports is supposed to complement base system
services.  There were such situations for ssh, for instance.)
